Gedore Newsletter - Changing wheels - safe distribution of forces

The weather is telling us – soon it will be time to change from summer to winter tyres. For the controlled tightening of wheel nuts a torque wrench should be used, regardless of whether the change is carried out by a private person or a specialist in a workshop. The torque wrench in general is a hand-operated tool for carrying out controlled screw connection work. A controlled screw connection is when the force used for screwing is exactly specified and adhered to. Torque wrenches have a scale for this and use a tactile, visual or acoustic signal to indicate when the desired torque has been reached. With the mechanical torque wrench GEDORE DREMASTER®, which is produced in Germany, the signal is triggered automatically and noticeably felt and heard by the user. This wrench also has a dual scale with main and alternative unit, so you can measure both in newton metres (N•m) and in foot pounds (ft•lb). Both the setting of an incorrect unit and reading errors can be avoided by simple select...

GEDORE TORCOTRONIC III with Non-Reference Arm Angle Measurement

Image
ITS ARRIVED The microprocessor, electronic TORCOTRONIC (TT) torque wrench has been refined. The tried-and-tested TT II system has now been extended by a non-reference arm angle measurement and the software adapted to market requirements. TORCOTRONIC III is usable in a variety of fields. Not only during the strenuous daily workshop routine but also in practically all manufacturing fields, it represents an indispensable helper in matters of controlled screw tightening. The range is one between 10 - 120 and 70 - 350 Newton meter and is changeable to foot-pound. The wrench has a ½" rectangular reversible ratchet head. The 9x12 and 14x18 square sockets are the basis for working effectively, for instance, in cramped and hard-to-reach locations. Guaranteed is a high degree of measurement accuracy of +/- 1% tolerance for all readings (+/- one digit). The wrench has a USB interface for data exchange and can be rum either with two batteries Mignon AA or with rechargeable battery (NiMH)....

Its Arrived - Gedore

Image
World innovation by GEDORE: 3-in-1 impact socket bit In the past, using an impact socket bit meant also using a safety ring and a safety pin as safety devices when transferring force. In reality, however, it was often easier to omit or “forget” to attach the loose safety pin and ring, as the process was tedious and complex (if they had not been lost). However, it is particularly important to use operating tools properly and safely, especially where large forces come into play, in order to prevent injury. The Impact Fix safety device is now integrated in the impact socket, which eliminates the need to assemble three elements (socket, pin and ring). A second pin safety device including ring (that won’t get lost) is already attached to the impact socket – a very safe and simple solution. The pins are automatically pushed into the drill holes of the square drive when the ring is attached. The double ring groove on the insert makes it easy to move the ring. This minimises the ...
